US STEEL ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGE

United States Steel Corporation has announced that Christine S. Breves, senior vice president and chief financial officer, has informed the company of her intention to leave the company in 2022 after nine years of service with the company.

To ensure that the company gains the full benefits of her extensive finance and supply chain experience, Breves agreed to stay on as executive vice president of Business Transformation to support the company’s Best for All℠ strategy.

For his part, US Steel’s president and CEO David B. Burritt notes that “Christie’s deep industry knowledge, leadership and excellent perspective have contributed greatly to US Steel’s transformation into the future of steelmaking” to which he adds that “we have too much important work ahead of us not to take full advantage of her capabilities. That’s why I am so pleased that Christie has chosen to stay on for the full year and our Board of Directors has agreed to promote her to Executive Vice President. I look forward to working with her directly in the coming months to further accelerate our Best for All progress.”

Since 2019, Christine Breves has led all aspects of the company’s financial responsibilities as well as the company’s procurement functions. The information technology and sales and operations planning functions were subsequently added to his responsibilities. Breves joined US Steel in 2013 as vice president and director of Procurement. In 2017, she was named senior vice president: manufacturing support and chief supply chain officer.
